"A twisted food blogger has told police he filmed himself as he brutally killed a porn star"
Ha! I like The Report of the Week. He has a good fast food review channel. I think I've mentioned him here before.

The Forum, an indoor arena in Inglewood, California, opened in December 1967. It was home to the Lakers and the Los Angeles Kings from 1967 to 1999 and the Los Angeles Sparks from 1997 to 2001. The Forum will host the gymnastics events for the 2028 Summer Olympics. South Korean automobile manufacturer Kia has purchased the naming rights from Forum owner (and Clippers owner) Steve Ballmer. I think Kia should have spent the money on designing a better logo.

That is interesting, but I'd guess there are many asterisks that go with these figures. Such as:
- I would guess that if Google is your home page (as may be the default on many computers), then Google News may get a hit every time you open the browser or in between each site you go to. So the stat is meaningless.
- I never dial-up Huffpo or Daily Beast, but sites I do go to may have stories linked to them, giving them hits indirectly.
- The disclaimers above apply to most of the sites listed. So there's no way of knowing how many intentional hits a site is getting.
